INGREDIENTS for 20 portions
-
170g flour
-
55g granulated sugar
-
100g soft butter
-
a pinch of salt
-
¾ tsp (1.5g) gingerbread spice mix
-
100g Nutella®
-
1 heaped tsp Nutella® (15g) per portion
METHOD
-
STEP 1In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together, except for the Nutella®, and knead for 1-2 minutes until the dough becomes pliable.
-
STEP 2Roll out the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper until a thickness of around 4 mm.
-
STEP 3Cut out the dough into 40 shapes using a cookie cutter or other small shape you can create by yourself on a cardboard sheet and use it as a stencil. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
STEP 4Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and position the baking rack in the middle of the oven.
Transfer the biscuits onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 10-11 minutes, remove from the oven and let them cool down on the tray. Fill a piping bag fitted with a small nozzle (about 2 mm) with the Nutella®, pipe 5g of Nutella® on half of the biscuits and assemble with the other half. Eventually, decorate your sandwiches with Nutella®.
